The Trackhawk has landed.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is being loaned out to automotive journalists left and right and someday someone on Turo will rent me one for about $350 a day. Until that day comes, I’m gonna have to sit on top of my dryer at home with a laptop and headphones and make vroom-vroom noises at the dog.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has the 6.2L Supercharged Hellcat motor pushing 707 hp and 645 lb-ft of torque. A lot of people will have questions about this vehicle and I will list a few below.

Q. Why would anyone need 707 hp?

A. America.

Q. Why wouldn’t you just buy a GTR for the same money?

A. America.

Q. What kind of person buys an $87k Trackhawk anyways?

A. People who love America.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s watch Motorweek’s video review. A few things to ponder while watching Motorweek. Why is this show so nerdy? Why is the host wearing a dirty pair of drawers under his helmet? Why was there not a single burnout or drag race in a vehicle that is obviously designed to go in a straight line? I know it’s called a Trackhawk but it’s obviously for a drag strip and Draghawk or Striphawk both take my mind to interesting places but not where they are supposed to go.

All that being said, I am very excited about the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. I don’t care that it costs $87,000+, I am just so happy that Jeep is making it but I do wish this motor came in a Compass because that would be silly. We all need weird vehicles that do amazing things. If you’ve never been in a high horsepower vehicle and done a bunch of 0-60 pulls, I highly recommend it. What about y’all? Are you happy going 0-60mph by lunch time? Would you rather spend that kind of scratch on a rear steer Jeep Wrangler?
